Yataklık etmiş ki zaar
Suçu tevatür ve esrar
Elbet bir kızıllığı var
İkindiyin saat beşte

Dirlik düzenlik kurtulur
Müdür koltuğa kurulur
Çiçek demire vurulur
İkindiyin saat beşte

Canların gözleri yaşta
Aklı idamlık yoldaşta
Yeşil ölümle dalaşta
Sabahleyin saat beşte
Sabahleyin saat beşte
Sabahleyin saat beşte

Elegy to a Geranium

At five o'clock in the afternoon
Chief warden Riza at the head
Darkness fell upon the ward
At five o'clock in the afternoon

We watched the spectacle
As they arrested Geranium
They threw her into solitary confinement
At five o'clock in the afternoon

We watched the spectacle
As they arrested Geranium
They threw her into solitary confinement
At five o'clock in the afternoon

She had committed a grievous sin
Her crime was rumour and gossip
Of course there was some truth to it
At five o'clock in the afternoon

She had committed a grievous sin
Her crime was rumour and gossip
Of course there was some truth to it
At five o'clock in the afternoon

Decency and order will be restored
The warden will take his seat
The flower will be struck with iron
At five o'clock in the afternoon

Decency and order will be restored
The warden will take his seat
The flower will be struck with iron
At five o'clock in the afternoon

Our hearts are heavy with tears
Our minds are with our doomed comrade
Fighting a losing battle with the green death
At five o'clock in the morning
At five o'clock in the morning
At five o'clock in the morning
